The lodge is spectacular in architecture, location and views. However, it seems outdated, poorly managed and despite its aspiration to luxury, our stay was rather uncomfortable. The rooms are tiny, hot and stuffy. No mosquito nets. After repeated enquiries an annoyed employee was finally motivated to spray the room with a bug killer, which was really just a nice intention,... More

We stayed 1 night at this lodge during our safari. The views are fantastic, we were able to see a great sunset. We enjoyed resting at the pool deck and watching the animals. The room was clean, a bit hot at night. The food was average but the drinks were good. More

Got a surprise upgrade to this lodge during our safari, and it lived up to its reputation. Views of the Serengeti from anywhere in the lodge are amazing, especially from the pool deck. Meals in the restaurant area were really great - wish we could have stayed for more than just one night. Definitely recommend as the first choice for... More

Really did like the location, it's in the northernly part of the serengeti, and you can see wildlife just outside your windows. Unfortunately it was a bit difficult to get things done here though. We were given a room with 2 single beds, and when asked to be moved it took quite some time. The door nobs kept on falling... More

The location is just awesome! The lodge apparently has been renovated within the last one year, so everything was new and refreshing. But I would recommnend this place just for the Serengeti view. The food was good and service was good too. thei view point was just terrific. By the way, I have to also say how great our safari... More

The Lobo Wildlife Lodge is a recently privatized lodge built by the Tanzanian government in the late 60s. It's been well maintained, but like all properties of that age, it will soon be due for a refresh. The lodge sits atop a large rock outcropping which offers spectacular views from all angles. One special feature is the lodge's swimming pool,... More

So in case you didn't know, the Wildlife lodges were formerly government owned and therefore sport the best locations in each national park. Lobo is no exception. However a few years ago they were sold to Indians who have renovated the rooms but have certain management issues. This lodge is the best run out of all te Wildlife lodges. More
